We're Finally Getting Married / At First You Were Off-Putting, But You Really Won Me Over

About

We're Finally Getting Married or At First You Were Off-Putting, But You Really Won Me Over is a series of memes, including image macros, in which an anime woman in a wedding dress is shown under a long-form caption in which she expresses excitement over finally getting married, then explains how she first found her fiancée unappealing but was won over for a specified reason. The original meme, which uses a copypasta reading, "Anon I'm so happy we are finally getting married! You know, when we first met I wasn't really attracted to you, but the way you were just so continuously unnecessarily hostile towards me online just for being a woman on the internet really won me over," was posted online in June 2021 and inspired several variations over the following years on sites including Reddit, X / Twitter and iFunny.
